4. And all Israel heard say Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
5. And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Beth-aven.
